Later 15th century probably by abbot John Vanne (1458-70). History says that this is where Queen Margaret stayed on her return from France to try to get the throne back for her husband Henry VI. She failed and spent the four years in prison before being ransomed by France where she died in 1482.

Room very clean, staff nice and friendly hotel itself also clean and fresh. Swimming pool and spa dated and not as clean (due to age rather lack of effort). Food and drink slightly over priced £17+ for a pint of lager and glass of wine.
